Who we are
A naval officer, a football coach and a university lecturer walk into a pub...and thus was born T-C-R, the power pop sensation of West Sussex. Combining their love of crunchy guitars and memorable melodies, this new/traditional pop rock trio has begun a mission to bring top tunes to folks yearning to hear that organic, less processed sound of groups such as Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and Crowded House. No AutoTune, no AI music, no karaoke-style backing tracks - just drums, bass, guitar and vocals...and the occasional hand clap or two. Just to, you know, spice things up a bit...
Hugh Kim Lewis: Drums (and Plastic-y, the famous [not-]wood block)
Nick Randall: Bass (and the infamous Big Muff Pi Bass pedal)
TC Rae: Guitar/vocals (and between-song dad-joke banter)
